Love traveling, but always really happy to get home. After sixteen days out on the road, we arrived home Thursday night. We were definitely hoping to get home before the GRBs raised the price of gas to where we couldn't afford to get home.
Gas prices March 3rd started at $3.24 in Missouri, $3.46 in Springfield, Ill., $3.70 in Yorkville, Illinois, and a very-high $3.74 in Elburn. Of course, in a few weeks, $3.74 will look cheap, but that's another story. Not that Illinois is a rip-off, but, wow!!
We ended up putting 2,593 miles on the 2003 Malibu and even hit 100,000 miles about four miles into the trip. We've never had a vehicle get that many miles before.
On the way down, we drove Il-47 to I-74 to In-63 to US-41 to the Penneyrile Parkway in Kentucky to I-24 to Tn-49 to I-65 to US-331 and US-98.
More to Come. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
